Were putting the finishing touches to our brand new, extra care retirement community in the beautiful seaside town of Scarborough.  Opening very shortly, were supporting older people aged 55+ with varying care and support needs to live independently in their own home and enjoy their well-earned retirement.  Well be offering high quality living in our 63 beautifully designed apartments with a variety of on-site facilities including assisted living technology, wellbeing and care provision, restaurant, caf©, hair/beauty salon, communal rooms and picturesque landscaped gardens.  It will be a real hub within the local community.  Brilliant isnt it!
 
You'll be based from our fantastic new building on Scalby Road, we are very close to Scarborough town centre on public transport or by car (you can almost smell the fish and chips and were sure that well be popping out often to grab some for our lunch!).  
 
Your role
As Lead Support Worker (known by us as Lead Reablement Worker), youll be supporting our customers who have a range of support needs including frailty and dementia, helping them to regain or maintain their independence and live well in their own home by carrying out every day daily living activities by themselves.  Youll develop customer care plans with our customers, supporting and coordinating our team of Reablement Workers to deliver on the plans that you have created ensuring that they provide person centred and reablement focused care.
 
Theres lots for you to do, from leading on caseloads, risk assessments, support planning, as well as regular reviews. Youll work collaboratively with external agencies, to assess and engage support for our customers.  Youll find that no two days are the same because everything we do is €œperson centred€ around our customers.  So you might be helping with personal care (issuing medication or bathing) in the morning, supporting them to cook their lunch and a bit of shopping in the afternoon. We even help customers to go on holiday!  Some of our customers will have more complex needs and youll manage complex personal care including stoma and catheter care.
 
Youll be reporting to Hayley our Registered Manager, and working alongside Jemma our Community and Wellbeing Manager who have both just recently joined us bringing a wealth of experience to lead our brilliant service.  Youll have tons of experienced support on hand working within our exciting brand new service.
 
Working hours
Well be providing 24-hour support to our customers, so youll work on a rota basis, with shifts ranging between 7.00am to 10.00pm, taking your turn to work days, evenings, weekends and bank holidays.  You may from time to time be required to do some occasional nights in emergencies. We need you to be flexible to meet the needs of our customers, but in return well give you the time you need to spend time doing the things that matter to you!
 
About you
Youll have a positive can do attitude and want to make a big impact on our customers lives and shape this brilliant new service. Your empathy will really shine through as will your ability to empower customers to live their best lives.  To make sure our customers are well supported, its important that you have worked in a supported housing environment before, be willing to provide personal care and have an excellent understanding of safety, risk management CQC requirements and legislation in relation to personal care.
 
Youll have a great understanding of professional boundaries, safeguarding, case management and creating bespoke/personalised support plans.  Dont worry, we wont drop you in the deep end, well nurture your talent, help you understand how things work at Home Group and youll have a fantastic induction with ongoing learning and support!
 
You will hold a minimum Level 2 Diploma in Care, if you also hold Level 3 in Adult Care then this would be the icing on the cake, but dont worry if you dont, as well pay and support you to achieve this.  If you have also worked in an older persons or extra service setting before or have experience supporting customers through a reablement approach this is even more fantastic!  To make sure that we keep our records straight, and customers safe, it's really important that you are technologically savvy (or at the very least not a technophobe!).
 
When you join, youll need to have a valid Enhanced Check under the Disclosure and Barring Service. The great news is that we will pay for that to be done if you dont have a transferrable one.
